Lovecraft; "Milton's Children," an expansive novella that hints of unthinkable horrors in the Antarctic; and "Simulacrum," a scintillating science fiction novella that evokes the shade of Philip K. Dick. Also included are thirteen of Brock's evocative poems. With a foreword by William F. Nolan and an introduction by James Robert Smith.
Jason V Brock has been widely published in magazines, comics, and anthologies such as "Butcher Knives & Body Counts," "Animal Magnetism," "Fangoria," the "Weird Fiction Review," S. T. Joshi's "Black Wings" anthology series, "Like Water for Quarks," and many others.

Goes to Hollywood" and "The Dandelion Chronicles." With a foreword by Ray Bradbury, an introduction by Jason V Brock, an afterword by Greg Bear, and tributes to Bradbury by Brock, S. T.
